Ingredients to make Basketball Cookies:

- 1 piece of orange fondant
- 1 piece of black fondant
How to make Basketball Cookies:
- Basketball cookies are some of the easiest to make, you just have to have a little patience. Remember that you can get orange fondant by mixing two parts of yellow fondant with one part of red and if you prefer you can do it with food coloring and homemade sugar cloud fondant.
- First, roll out the orange fondant to a thin layer, then cut a circle the same size as the cookie. With the black fondant, mold some threads or noodles, as thin as possible.
- Wet the cookie with a brush of water and paste the circle of fondant. Correct the edges with your finger if necessary and place the characteristic lines of the basketball. Start with the central ones, one vertical and one horizontal curved.
- Then place the rest following the same pattern. Fix the strips to the biscuit by flattening slightly with the cutting pencil.
- If you wish, you can pass the roller over the ready- made cookies, applying very gentle pressure. The final result of the cookies decorated with fondant will be much more professional
- Use the fondant basketball cookies to encourage your children to continue playing sports, you can also give them to someone special on the day of the big game or combine them with other sports-themed cookies for a children’s party.
